Lou "Lou D" DeAdder
Rewind back to
July,
1964 - at age 12 Lou receives his first guitar for passing grade 7. Six
years later he is playing full time. Living thru the musical uprisings
of the 60's - the Beatles, Rolling Stones and on to players such as
Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter. The "Y" days in
Thistletown - all fabulous memories with much experience gained in the
process. The 70's and 80's playing many different styles to survive as
a full time musician - Rock, Top 40, Blues, R&B, Funk, Country,
Disco (yikes).
Fast forward - The Lou DeAdder Band is formed in
early 2002 - we finally arrive in the present - it all comes together.
The music is original, unique and extremely powerful!

Troy Dowding -
Trumpet - Troy is fast becoming one of Ontario's most requested trumpet
players. When Troy plays heads turn and people listen. From a young age
he was drawn to the instrument. In his own words "I knew from the first
day that I was going to be a professional trumpet player. Playing
trumpet for some reason came naturally to me." The Hamilton native
draws experience from drum and bugle corps, youth orchestra, jazz
bands, playing on cruise ships as well as Las Vegas style shows. It's
this experience that has helped Troy stand out when performing in
venues around the Greater Toronto Area and the Hamilton Golden
Horseshoe. In the recording studio, Troy combines skills developed
during live performing with his natural creativity and masterful
technique. Troy can be heard performing in various venues around the
GTA as well as in the Hamilton area.
He has recently been playing with Robbie Lane and
the Disciples, Sharon Musgrave, My Son The Hurricane, Rita Chiarelli,
Danny Marks, Liberty Silver and the Killin' Time Band.
